Artisan Sourdough Bread Stand Mixer Recipe | Open Crumb | Foodgeek Baking

[@martinboyadgian1]

Awesome ! After half a year of trial, error, and frustration at the lack of oven spring, finally a recipe which really works for me ! I have spent countless hours reading, watching and trying all kinds of recipes, all of which lead me to a sticky mess and a flat pancake. I just baked two beautiful bread loafs with perfect oven spring, crispy golden crust and an awesome crumb structure and texture. Thank you very much Foodgeek! You just got a new subscriber.

[@carizley]

Thank you for showing the entire evolution of the dough in the mixer. As someone who just bought a mixer, I find it really useful.

[@dorothywandruff2121]

Thank you Sune. Honestly, since my sourdough adventure started with the pandemic, I’ve been using a machine to mix dough, for all the reasons you gave as to why. Hands don’t work like all my young bread mentors like yourself. I have a baby Hobart mixer (10 quart) from my catering days that works wonders. The only difference is, I still give folds and/or coils during bulk. It really gives the bread a bigger lift, but I look forward to daring not - at least once. Excellent tutorial as always. Another secret I have, don’t tell....I start and finish with the dough hook from autolyse to mixing. One less tool to clean up. I look forward to next week.

[@Scottjf8]

I use a machine most of the time and my hands at the end since I can feel the whole thing and know when it's done.

[@Bassbarbie]

I use the dough hook all the time too 😆

[@amassagebyamyable]

Just wanted to let you know that I just tried this method of yours for the first time and it worked so perfectly! I was kinda worried because the only bread flour I have access to here in Panama where I live is really super strong. I used whole wheat flour as well for your recipe, and it took 20 minutes before I got a windowpane, but even then it was still a thick windowpane lol. I added extra water since these flours are super thirsty flours. It took 8 hours to grow 25 percent in my 78 degree kitchen. Then when I shaped them, the dough was really strong and wouldn't give very much, so I was still worried. Then when I took them out if the fridge in the morning, they hadn't grown much at all so I was REALLY worried. But I put them in a cold oven and boy was I totally shocked when I removed the lid of the enamel pot!!! The oven spring was unbelievably huge! I'll post pics soon online and tag you, Sune. Thanks so much for all your hard work you put into teaching your methods and all the experimenting you do! You've been a godsend!

[@nibrok18]

You always seem to know which video I want next!

[@guynakash]

When I started baking sourdough bread I learned how to do it totally manually, but when I saw your experiment where you compared kneading by hand against a mixer I started using my mixer and never looked back.

[@vaazig]

@Manuel Fernandes nope. But you can use it to make sausage farce, pasta dough etc... 😅

[@puripuribuns]

I have no marble countertop to practice my kneading , my kitchen island is old wooden and dirty so ive struggled with kneading. I will try this out this weekend!

[@vaazig]

@Manuel Fernandes with a lot of unnecessary attachments? I know I did... 😅

[@vaazig]

@@puripuribuns for other purposes I needed a clean, flat surface so I bought a stainless steel tray for less than £10.

[@puripuribuns]

@@vaazig how do you handle the tray moving around so much? I've tried it and it made me so frustrated 😩

[@ThatGuy-dj3qr]

I bought a mixer (ostensibly) for my wife a few months ago. I decided to try using it to mix and knead my sourdough (which is typically 55% whole wheat). Suddenly I started getting consistent loaves with much more oven spring. I realize that I simply hadn't been kneading my dough enough previously. Long story short, I now use the stand mixer almost all the time for bread making. As Sune suggests, I stop once I have a positive window pane test.

[@pauljames7259]

Thanks Sune. I'm a retired chef (40 years) and I just made the best sourdough loaf I have ever made with this recipe and technique. I approximated the Challenger bread pan by turning out my loaf onto parchment paper on my pizza peel. Then I transferred the loaf to my preheated pizza stone and covered it with the bottom of a cast iron Dutch oven. I had the best oven spring, nice blistering and good crust. I'll let you know about the crumb but the loaf is still cooling and I was so thrilled, I couldn't wait to thank you. This is the sourdough recipe I will go to from now on.

[@Foodgeek]

Thank you, Paul :) You may want to check out the new Master Recipe as there are some updated tips on baking temperature and other things :)

[@c.g.steckbeck9804]

Thanks for showing the whole mixing! I find it much easier to gauge the finished stage when I can see the progression from start to finish. 💜

[@gordslater]

yes I found that useful too - easy to overdo it with a mixer because you don't feel it.

[@isabelab6851]

Agreed!

[@zebelkhan0001]

Yes that was very useful for me too.

[@dorothywandruff2121]

Gord and Isabel, I think there is more worry about overheating the dough than gauging. Regarding the feel, you can actually see the gluten forming during the slow mixing. The dough starts to form a a spiral ridge as the dough turns. That’s a good time to check your windowpane. Mix a little more, see the dough change, check the windowpane again. I thank goodness for my machines. I may not have kept on going if it didn’t work. I still do the coil and lamination (makes me one with the dough). Saving my arthritic hands! Not to mention carpal tunnel.

[@ObsessiveAboutCats]

Thank you for showing so much of the fine details (the standmixer action and shaping process). A lot of videos skip past that on the theory that they're so common everyone has seen them, and also boring. I have not seen them (I just bought a mixer and am looking forward to trying it out once it arrives) and it's very helpful to see how it should behave.

[@joanmorey9029]

Awesome bread!!! I mixed mine in my bread mixer on the "Dough" Cycle and periodically did the window test to know when to turn the bread machine off and move to the next step. I also used milk instead if water, added 2 tblsp olive oil & 2 tblp sugar. It is sooooo good. Nice soft crumb, yet chewy. Thanks for your great video and info. You are the only person who gave the proper explanation of fermentation. "VOLUME AS APPOSED TO TIME" .

[@andyjame8317]

Maybe that is what everyone says after they get one, but wow! kzbin.infoUgkxV-4_UFTAJEegRY8I2jrpCEthOr39izrZ Recommend This makes my life so much easier when it comes to baking because it doesn't matter what I want to make this brings it all together. I have more then put this mixer through it's paces at Christmas time when I made 4 batches of kuchen within a couple of days. Normally I dread that process, even if my friend loves the stuff, but now I look forward to pulling this beast out of the cupboard and whipping up a batch of kuchen. I have yet to find something this mixer can't make, and I bought the pasta maker to go with it since everywhere here is sold out of pasta!

[@gcb4321]

Thanks Sune. I've been making sourdough this way for about a year, mainly because I am very lazy. The main difference over your method is that I put the liquid, water, olive oil and starter, in the mixing bowl first and then add the dry ingredients. Seems to leave less stuck to the bowl.

[@caasr57]

You are right, pal. Mixes faster, more efficiently and with a lot less mess👍

[@00through99]

Just completed this recipe for the third time. I’d never made sourdough before this and each time it has come out identical to the last and delicious with an airy inside and deep flavor. The early success is very motivating to continue baking and trying new things. Thanks!!!!

[@quilterbme]

I made bread using this recipe and it turned out amazing. The only problem is that I can't stop eating it!!! Thanks so much for this demo.

[@fanfayer1961]

I use my stand mixer quite frequently. It makes it so much easier and quicker. Just today, 650g of fresh milled flours. 50/50 mix of Patwin and Kamut. The dough felt marvelous. Fermented in about 7 hours and is now in the fridge.

[@rentregagnant]

Love that T-shirt, Suni! A real classic, maybe even vintage!

[@wanderingstar2717]

I am a beginner. I followed your mixer recipe for sourdough, and as exactly as I could. I had stress at the beginning since I found myself mixing the dough for easily 30 minutes before it halfway passed the windowpane test. Maybe it is because I have the KitchenAid mini. So like you I ended up with 1 boule and 1 batard shape, from exactly the same dough. In general they both tasted amazing but the boule was flat and really hard to slice. The batard was much more successful, keeping its fuller shape, and so easy to slice, which showed me getting the dough to be in the right shape is so important. I now need to focus on better oven spring, but I am very much encouraged. Thanks for these great videos.

[@Foodgeek]

It sounds like you needed to shape the boule for longer :)

Great looking breads! I made them exactly as in the video and I couldn’t be happier. I went 20 minutes first bake at 500f then 16 minutes @ 450f. Thanks Sune.

[@craigmiller9103]

I've made this twice now with great results. One small change I made on the second try was to do the initial mix of wet and dry by hand in the bowl of my KA. Seemed easier to do this than to start with the paddle, then take it off, clean it, and attach the dough hook. Also gives you a little bit of "hands-on" in the dough if you like that.

[@georgeohrberg1601]

Thank you Sune, I really enjoy your channel and I have learned a lot!

[@pompeyexileuk205]

Thanks Sune. At last! I know using a machine for some artisan breadmakers is sacrilege as they harp on about 'feeling' the dough, but there are plenty of us out there who need a little help for one reason or another. This seems a much quicker way of doing it, not having the intermittant stretch and folds. So, for those with slightly hectic lives, this is a great way of still being able to have delicious sourdough without compromise.

[@aliefradilbaz]

Waow, look at that, looks so delicious!!

[@katherinemaas6712]

Beautiful. Again. I guess I should give this method a try. Hopefully my 40-year old Braun stand mixer still has enough oomph to do it. I am rather addicted to hand mixing, but it's always good to have a plan B for an aging body!

[@jpeood32]

Thank you for saving me time and energy. I doubt one could tell which bread was which in a blind taste test. I have never used this method until I saw your video this morning. In the past, while I am stretching and folding, I often look over at my mixer and think of cheating with it! LOL. Proof Bread in Arizona, and I know you know they are a commercial operation, mixes all their dough and I've always hoped someone would translate that into a single batch method. The older I get, the busier life becomes and I would rather spend my time with friends eating my breads than babysitting dough, not that it is a bad thing if that is your preference. Over the past 5 years I have taken up a couple of hobbies including sourdough. One hobby is quilting. There is a lot of deliberation about what is "authentic" in the quilting world. Are Grandma's hand stitched quilts better than machine stitched? Someone put it this way in a machine class; " If Grandma had owned a sewing machine, she would have used it." Not here for debate just a friendly and joyful comment. Keep bakin'

This was a very good video. I just recently got a stand mixer to help with bread making. I will incorporate your mixing technique and happily eliminate hand mixing. Also I was adding some stretch and folds to the stand mixer at first, but will also happily stop that and try a few loaves without them. I like doing an overnight frig thing, but don't like putting bannetons in the frig, so I'll hold off on that change for the moment. Thank you!

[@gregallan2464]

I tried making sourdough last year and gave up. The loaves smelled amazing but they were flat and I didn't think it was worth the time and effort, so I went back to baking yeasted bread exclusively. I got a combo cooker recently and had great results with yeasted loaves. So I tried this recipe with the combo cooker over the weekend and I got amazing sourdough bread with open crumb. The combo cooker has been the missing piece of the puzzle for me. I feel a good experiment would be to compare a control loaf baked in a combo cooker to one that you baked in an oven with no combo cooker. Thanks.

@@Foodgeek I hope it is not too late to get another reply of help, since this was posted a year ago. I didn't try your recipe, exactly, because I had already mixed my regular dough recipe (and done an autolyse), but when I left my mixer on 3 I still didn't get it to completely separate from the bowl or have a positive window pane even after 20 minutes. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My recipe is 800g bread flour, 2% salt, 70% hydration, 20% inoculation (I use rye flour for my starter feeds, as I feel it gives my final loaves better flavor).

[@Foodgeek]

@@MCNMN If gluten is available, it will develop during bulk, so it should be fine :)

My mixer advised me to add the wet ingredients first and dump the dry in when it is running. This works good for me. I only baked cakes and pot brownies though. Now I make bread and do it the same, works good... I put water, then the starter and i break the starter up so its mixed in the water, then i dump in the flour and salt while the machine is running, and let it go for 10 min or so

Just finished baking! Really great recipe, even though I made some errors. I have trouble finding Rye flour so I subbed whole wheat. Although I did add less water, as you suggested, my dough was still too wet. I made a few adjustments during the kneading process but still too wet. I decided to shape the loaves anyway and go through the retard process. Well, it still worked! The bread has a nice crust and a really good crumb even with my screw ups! A very forgiving recipe!!!! I’ll make it again ....... but take your advice to start with much less water. Thank you!

[@aaronbruckelmeyer]

I am fairly new to making sourdough and tried this this past weekend. I used a half size recipe to only make one loaf and used wheat flour in place of the rye since that is what I had on hand. The dough mixed up well in my kitchen aid mixer, but the bulking wasn't working since I think my kitchen was too cold. After 6 hours it had only risen 1/4" in the sealed plastic pitcher I was using to bulk in. I then placed it over the heat register and after a couple more hours the dough had almost doubled in size. However once I got it out of the pitcher and onto the counter it seemed to have deflated after initial shaping and counter rest. I final shaped it and put it in the fridge overnight and it never really grew any more. Once baked, it was tasty, but the crumb was dense and not full of those bigger holes you would want. It's like it never rose properly after removing from the bulk container.. should I just try bulking in the bowl and go straight to the cold proof after it grows to reduce the likelihood of deflating all of that warm proof growth?

Hi Sune, great video, thanks. What bake mode do you use for your oven? Just standard “Bake” where the bottom heating element is used, or do you use convection, or some other setting? I ask because I used bake and my bread did not com out nearly as dark as yours and my oven was within + or - 10 degrees of the target as the oven would kick in to maintain temperature. I know you do a bunch of wonderful experiment videos, wondering if it would be worth doing one around bake modes. Thanks.

[@judyamorello2722]

I love your channel Sune. I have been baking sourdough breads for over a year now using the traditional stretch and fold method. However, I found your recipe for preparing the dough using a stand mixer today since I am having some issues with my hands. The recipe and video are really wonderful, but before I attempt my first loaf this way I was wondering if I can 1/2 this recipe. Will the dough come together just as well in the stand mixer with less volume of ingredients? Thanks for experimenting and tweaking recipes for the rest of us. - so we don’t have to!

[@Foodgeek]

It depends on the size of the bowl. If the dough hook can reach the dough it should be fine 😊

[@Jaytex95]

If one does not have rye flour, what would you suggest instead? I basically just have organic all purpose flour, bread flour and whole wheat flour. Thanks for the helpful video regardless.

Are you able to say if I can get better oven spring if I blitz water on the dough just before placing inside the Dutch oven?

[@nevermore0]

Nice to find a recipe that uses rye and a stand mixer but mine didn't come out very well. The consistency was different from the very beginning, the dough was wetter than in the video and stuck together right away so there was no waiting for it to come off from the sides of the bowl. Got a decent windowpane after about 15 minutes of mixing so I figured it was fine. Not much oven spring and my dough was clearly underbaked, and I use an over thermometer. I'll see if increasing the bake time helps, and also might add some moisture to the Dutch oven.

[@halsti99]

how long does it usually take for your dough to clear the sides? and, is it possible to overmix the dough? ive tried to use a standmixer before, but was always a bit unsure of how long i could let it go, if the dough didnt pull away from the sides, even after around 15 minutes of mixing. didnt know if i just had too high hydration, or if i just needed to wait.

[@Tibbs142]

In using the stand mixer method is it recommended to use only on lower percentage dough or can it also be used on an 80-85% hydration?

[@Foodgeek]

It can be used on any hydration, but if you go for a very high hydration start by developing gluten at a lower hydration until windowpane and then add more water 😊

[@jonathanjg]

@@Foodgeek Ah, I should have seen this before mixing on high hydration! I know you mentioned it in the video, but since I make the same recipe by hand I figured it would just work. My bad!

Hi, I am using the same mixer and I am wondering how long it takes before you get a good window pane test. I realize that it also depends on flour but just a number which gets me in the right direction, thanks I really appreciate your tutorials.

[@aaron4osu18]

would replacing rye flour with spelt flour require anything different in the recipe?

[@Foodgeek]

Not if it is whole-grain spelt, but if it is sifted, you probably have to lower the hydration 😊

[@brainwrite]

Hey Sune, I don't have a mixer, but it seems to me based on this recipie that if/when I don't have time to do the stretch & fold method for gluten development, that perhaps I could just knead all ingredients by hand until the window pane, and then move on to the bulk fermentation. Are there reasons I'm not understanding as to why stretch & fold method is superior to simply hand kneading?

[@Foodgeek]

Stretch and fold works better for higher hydration where you cannot knead. But you rarely have to do anything tbh. Look up my no knead recipe 😊

[@brainwrite]

Excellent video. I was having a hard time finding a video that described the kneading process for a mixer. Still haven't nailed hand kneading yet. Where did you get the knife thingy? Also, my oven only goes to 230C. What would the time and instruction adjustments be to compensate? Thanks!

[@Foodgeek]

What knife thingy are we talking? The lame for scoring your bread? fdgk.net/buy-walnut-lame I did two temperature tests High to normal temp: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6mrY5-FbJaoY9E Normal to low temp: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoSynYd7r9WDg7M TL;DW Just bake at 230 covered, then 230 uncovered. It make take a bit longer than 40 minutes. Check the internal temperature :)

Interesting - I have been machine mixing my dough for about 6 weeks (laziness more than anything). I follow the advice given in a number of French recipes: first salt + water. Then flour ( I sometimes allow time for an ‘autolyse’) and then only add the starter. It seems to work reasonably well. Charles

New experiment idea: are you familiar with the Instant Pot? Great Canadian invention. Wondering if the warm steamy interior could be used for sourdough proofing (on the yogurt or sous vide setting) or even as a steam oven somehow?

I have a kitchen aide but hate the dough hook that came with it...going to get this one....looks more effective. ☺️

Did you flour the linen in your banneton before putting the shaped loaf inside?

[@Foodgeek]

Nope :)

I didn't see the cards you were referencing at 1:43 and at 2:00. Did you forget to include them or is it just me that didn't see them?

[@Foodgeek]

They're included and show up in my browser. What client are you watching on? :) Or else they are here: fdgk.net/sourdough-bread-stand-mixer-formula Patreon: fdgk.net/patreon

would it be less time with a spiral dough mixer? Thanks !

[@michelemichaelsen2643]

I'm excited to try this recipe this week. If we wanted to make one large boule instead of two small loaves what cooking time would you recommend?

[@Foodgeek]

Probably 5 minutes more, but just test the internal temperature. It should be 99C/210F :)

@@Foodgeek thank you so much! I love your channel. You've been a valuable resource ever since I began my sourdough journey. ♥️

Can I use white all purpose flour? We dont have bread flour in my country.

[@123marijn321]

Can i substitute rye flour for whole wheat flour?

[@Foodgeek]

Yes, any whole grain or bread flour if you want a whiter bread 😊
